Burberry Brit Rhythm Burberry cologne – a fragrance for men 2013

Update. .September 28, 14.
I tried this fragrance again unfortunately it doesn’t have any unique qualities which makes it different from all the rest. It’s not bad… It’s too common and it’s shame that it’s almost too bland. 5/10

I finally had a chance to sample this fragrance. I also find it a touch similar to Polo Red both being sweet. Brit Rhythm has much more deeper herbal/minty aroma probably from juniper berry.
The top notes of basil and verbena is listed, but I can not detect any lemon or citrus tones in this fragrance at all. I can certainly pick up a slight herbal aroma as well the mid notes of cardamom and juniper berries. Altogether this frag gives off the sense of a slightly dark spicy/sweet tone.
After it settles I can appreciate the slight aromatic aroma. The notes of patchouli, Tonka bean combined with cedar makes it kinda attractive frag giving it a more woodsy/powdery scent. The other two notes of incense and leather adds to the aroma of being a masculine fragrance.
Longevity, I found that it settles well and lasts between 4-6hrs. Best during the daytime and it isn’t offensive at all which is nice !
Sillage, just enough to notice it which is at best moderate.
Overall opinion,
Before this frag came out I was expecting it to be much stronger with a more heavier base of either tobacco flower or sandalwood which isn’t in this frag at all and why! What I can say is that I DON’T MIND IT !!! however it doesn’t WOW me. If Burberry did add either of the two notes I mentioned it would of elevated this frag to that WOW factor.
This frag is best suitable through the winter into early spring.
Overall it’s ok, I will try it again in the hopes that it will win me over. 6.5/10
